enhancement: JUnit task only creates one forked VM per batch





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-07-15 16:52 -------
Are we talking about my DynamicTestSuite which would do introspection on the 
test cases to look for public static final Strings, and decide which tests to 
run based on the values? It did indeed bunch up all test method, although It's 
mostly an Ant reporting artifact, since using normal JUnit test composition.

To get the nice hierarchical reporting, we've since switched to a file selector 
that performs similar checks on public static final Strings used a dedicated 
little class parser (BCEL would work fine as well of course).

Using fork=true is really expensive when tests depend on services to be started 
so they can run, which adds up to the VM startup time. What a colleage 
suggested to me was to have the ability to define several groups of tests to 
run each (the group) in a separate VM. Sounds like it could be achieved with an 
additional attribute (like groupFork="true"), and make each different fileset 
of the <batchtest> be a separate group. Using our custom selector to kind these 
fileset groups thanks to new String would be trivial.

I'm just muttering.
